I am having really bad cramps!!?

Question

Well o dont start my period untill saturday and myy cramps are coming and killing me i have tried everything and i am hurting really really bad!! HELP!!!!

Answer 1

I have always gotten really bad cramps about a week before my period usually started, and then for a week after I was still having cramps and all that; so I went to my doctor and she put me on Zovia (birth control). Now I get my period about once every few months, and when I do get it, it's only for a day and a half and it's not that bad. But if you aren't on anything, try Migraine relief. I know it might sound stupid, but trust me it works better than anything. Also, if you have a screwdriver (vodka and OJ), it will attack the pain within 5-10 minutes, and you won't feel anything. This has always worked for me! Stay in there!

Answer 2

Ibuprofen 800 mg - every 6 hours
Tylenol Maximum Strength - wait 3 hours then
take 2 tablets every 6 hours
Heat pad on your bladder area, and your back, if possible.
Hot drink
Hot bath
You're trying to make your uterine muscles, which are spazzing, relax.

You should consider going to the gyn. If you start on a low-dose birth control pill, your period woes will disappear. Even if you don't need birth control.

I used to have really bad cramps EVERY month. I used to take Midol but the only way it would work is if I took it before my cramps got severe and even at that, it wasn't that great. Anti-imflamatory pain-killers worked great for me.
About a year ago, I found the cure to my cramps!
Birth-control
Since I been on birth-control I have not suffered from cramps ONCE!!

Answer 4

Try and eat something, dtink some hot tea and take a Motrin or Ibuprofin 800 if you have it. It will get rid of the pain in 30 mins. or soo.
I go through that every month for the past 10yrs. put something warm on your stomach also.

Good luck

Answer 6

These will help you cure your cramps:
1.Keep track of your cycle so you have a good idea of when your period is due.

2.Keep a healthy diet including plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as plenty of water. Attempt to track of how particular foods affect your period.

3.Make sure to have regular health check-ups to ensure vaginal health, mention to doctors any menstrual problems you feel you might be having, and take into consideration how conditions such as IBS or anaemia may make you feel during menstruation.

4.Change your diet slightly if you can, a week prior to menstruation to avoid menstrual cramping; avoid foods that could cause bloating such as salty foods and alcohol, avoid foods such as dairy that could contribute to menstrual cramps.

5.Get sufficient rest. Take it easy - over-exertion can make your cramps worse, and you'll feel tired sooner than normal.
Buy a good selection of herbal teas, teas commonly used to prevent and cure menstrual pains are; camomile, red raspberry, blessed thistle, valerian, yarrow, raspberry leaf or dong quai. Many health stores will be able to help you pick the right choice for you, also many stores offer a general women's blend to assist with more general menstrual problems. Be sure to check any health clashes particular herbs may have with medicine you may be taking or health conditions you may have.

6.Exercise. Easy exercise can aid in menstrual cramp relief, gentle exercise from the likes of yoga can be very beneficial – advantage of yoga is that not only is this light exercise but also encourages relaxation and breathing exercises that can be a great deal of help for menstrual cramping.

7.Try spot treatments. Heat or cold packs can be a spot on treatment for menstrual cramps, laying down with a pack around your stomach area. A warm bath can also provide heat that eases the pain of menstrual cramps as well as highly relaxing.

8.Have sex. Sex is great as a light exercise, which aids in relaxation and increases blood flow to your vagina. During orgasm, it is believed that a hormone called Oxytocin, which causes uterine contractions, is released. This can help to push out menstrual material.

9.Take anti-inflammatory pain killers if you can. Ibuprofen and naproxin sodium work on reducing inflammation, and have been found to be especially effective in relieving menstrual cramps and pain.

10.Try OTC remedies or coffee. Caffeine is also effective in reducing cramps. It may be helpful to understand that the cramping is caused by the uterus contracting in order to expel its lining; this causes the blood vessels in the area to dilate (get bigger) to fuel the contraction, and then contract (get smaller), which often traps too much blood in the formerly dilated sections. It's the same mechanism that causes migraine headaches in a lot of cases; an effective way of dealing with this is to constrict the vessels again so that the excess is forced back out, relieving pressure and cramping. Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor - it may keep you awake, but it will constrict your blood vessels and may give you some relief.
